Too True.
Appropos of tbo Republicans' po
sition on the Robcson tnvegtigatipn,
the Chicago Times says : "if John
Sherman should organize a ?iob,
break open the New York sub-lfcas
hry, load the contents on a revenue
I'Uttcr and sail gayly away for Tim
bnetoo, thb matter would be investi
gated by a Congressional committee,
'and there would be the usual division
of strict party lines, with majority
and minority lcports?the latter de
fending the removal of the deposits
ns a highly patriotic measure and a
masterpiece of financial wisdom.
These effects of party fanaticism only
reflect the moral condition of the
popular mind, and nothing better
need be expected until the mass of
the people aro brought to believe that
bHlcial robbers are no better than
common tltievcs, and that defenders
bf theft are as guilty as those who
Steal."

The Rural New Yorker says an in
tending purchaser should have the
horse brought out before him, and
watch the animn"! ?s he stands ht rest.
Jf the owner is continually starting
the horse into motion, and urging
him to "show off," something may be
suspected, because 'it 'is wMh the
horse is fit "perfect "rest that 'his weriu

or if tho foot be lifted from tlie

An Aged Lothario.
Franklin, Virginia, is in a flutter of
excitement over the elopement of
Prof. Richard G. Propf, a prominent
and influential citizen of that county.
Propf has n wife and fourteen chil
dren and lived with Col. G. P. Tay
lor in a magnificent house in the up
per end of the county. For some
time the recreant husband has been
noticed to be very attentive to Miss

who has been livlhg in his family.
Propf and the girl one night disap
peared together, ami it has been dis
covered that they purchased tickets
for Indianapolis, Indiana. Propf is

Come to Grief.
A Washington correspondent of
the Raleigh Observer says: "Gen.'J".
G. Blount, of Indian ft and notoriety,
was arrested recently on a very grave
'criminal charge of abstracting achccT:
"from a private letter, and using the
'same by means of forgery. This
man Blount wns convicted recently
hi the United States District Court
for Western North Carolina for fraud
itpon the North Carolina Cherokee
Indians. He was subject to confine

on argument for a new trial by Sena
tor Carpenter, at Grcenboro, a new
trial was granted.
This winter one of tiiose fiends who
